Your time lapse of the week is called “NightFall” and shows the sun setting and rising on Los Angeles. Love the music. As always, full screen high def recommended. If the video doesn’t display, click here.

The Urban State of Mind: Meditations on the City is the first Urbanophile e-book, featuring provocative essays on the key issues facing our cities, including innovation, talent attraction and brain drain, global soft power, sustainability, economic development, and localism. Included are 28 carefully curated essays out of nearly 1,200 posts in the first seven years of the Urbanophile, plus 9 original pieces. It's great for anyone who cares about our cities.
